So far

Speick comes only as a stick as for as I know. Not spoken of that I know, but easy for me to get in Chicago. Highly recomened.

Speick soap stick is good stuff, unfortunately I haven't used it very much. Thanks for reminding me, I'll be using it tomorrow, with my speick EDC.

hello chris,

1. tabac - this is my "go to" soap and has never let me down.

2. qed (fresh lime or sandalwood) - this is the ONLY glycerin soap that works for me and it works phenomenally well.

3. truefitt and hill - rounds out the top three.

notes:

proraso would be in the top five although there is a debate as to whether it is really a soap or not.

trumper (west indian limes or sandalwood) would round out the top five although i don't have enough experience with it to put it in the top three.

thanks,
mike

I am going to say that I have three Trumper soaps (Sandalwood, Rose and Limes) that I am using and a Violet that will be started when one of those goes out and to me, Trumper has been the slickest and best lathering of all soaps I have used.

I have used Tabac, QED in the tubs, Kent, Floris, Joris (which by the way I would say is second and equal to Floris), Crabtree and Evelyn, Sues St. Charles, and a few others.

Hmm.. Tough one this...

Erasmic
Loch Tay Tee Tree & Peppermint (English e-bay soap)
Mama Bear Dragons Blood

 

[xChris]

Taylor of Old Bond Street - Sandalwood
Floris JF
QED Juniper Berry EO

The Taylor's was the first shaving soap or cream that I ever tried -- it didn't disappoint, and I didn't know what sandalwood should smell like back then . The Floris came a couple of months later after one of there semi-annual sales. The QED is up there representing the QED soaps overall, but I've just been enamored with this particular scent since receiving it as a sample in a previous order (when it goes up for sale as regular stock, I'm getting more! ).

I really have so many more that I love having in rotation though. These would just be the ones that came to my mind for assuring agood shave on me.

Soap-wise for me, Arko, Gold-Dachs Spezial, and definitely Erasmic.

[aldouspfc]

Floris JF
T&H Luxury
Tabac/Trumper's Sandalwood (can't decide)

 

[finegelernt]

1. T&H is a great soap with a luxury soap smell

2. No one mentioned Pre de Provence a modestly priced French soap that smells a bit like citronella oil and lathers just awesome

3. Prorazo is very good but it is a "soft" soap - sort of like hard paste

Trumpers Violet & Nancy Boy
